Arrowhead Events, the special events arm of the Kansas City Chiefs, announced today that the University of Cincinnati will take on the University of Nebraska at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium – home of the Chiefs – on Thursday, August 28.
This face-off between the Bearcats and the Cornhuskers marks the first meeting of the two programs since 1906, when the Cornhuskers defeated the Bearcats 41-0. The University of Cincinnati will serve as the designated home team in Kansas City. This game was originally scheduled for 2020 as part of a home-and- home series but was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The two games have been rescheduled for the 2025 and 2033 seasons.
“Arrowhead Events is excited to once again host major college football at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, this time welcoming Cincinnati as they battle Nebraska,” Executive Vice President of Arrowhead Operations and Events Matt Kenny said. “Our stadium is an iconic sports and entertainment destination and we’re eager to create another unforgettable experience for both teams and their fans. Geographically, we find ourselves at the intersection of major college football conferences, and we’re looking forward to celebrating the spirit of college football and seeing the stands filled with energy for this Big Ten vs. Big 12 showdown next year.”
“Opening the 2025 season at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is an incredible chance to showcase Bearcats football in one of the NFL’s most iconic venues,” University of Cincinnati Director of Athletics John Cunningham said. “This game is a unique opportunity that not only significantly benefits the program financially but also puts the Bearcats in the national spotlight. This matchup reflects our commitment to thinking big and maximizing possibilities for our program in the ever-changing college athletics landscape.”
“We are pleased to partner with the University of Cincinnati and the Kansas City Chiefs to bring our 2025 season-opening matchup to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium,” University of Nebraska Director of Athletics Troy Dannen said. “Since arriving at Nebraska, one constant message I have heard from our fans is they miss having road football games that are within driving distance. This game offers an excellent opportunity for our great fan base to make a short trip to watch the Huskers open the season and enjoy Labor Day weekend in Kansas City.”
